Microsoft has just dropped a fresh Windows 11 update that turns the Copilot AI assistant into a core part of the OS. In a statement, Mustafa Suleimani, head of Microsoft AI, called this release a major leap toward an “AI‑first operating system.”
Copilot now sits right next to the search bar on the taskbar. It can answer questions, pull up web information and even perform actions on your computer—sorting files, locating and deleting clutter, you name it. Voice control has been re‑wired too: just say “Hey Copilot” and you’ll be able to command Windows in a conversational way.
With the new Copilot Vision mode, the assistant literally “sees” your desktop and open apps, analyzes what’s on screen, and offers context‑aware suggestions. In Word, Excel and PowerPoint it can view the entire document, not just the visible portion. There’s also a “show me how” feature that walks you through using new software or unfamiliar UI elements.
Other handy additions include connectors that let Copilot tap into external services like Gmail, Google Drive and calendars. For gamers, Microsoft introduced Gaming Copilot—a helper designed to guide you through games. Availability of these features may vary by region, the company noted.
